Thanks for the link... that page has been getting a bit of a flogging over the last few months. I wish some of the stuff on there was little more readly avaible over where I live, I would buy a lot of his material. The Sanhedolin stuff sounded really good along with the short samples of Knead, very intense but for me that is something good. Took me a while to get used to the whole intensity of the Japanese scene, but after getting into it I really do love the sound. I'm actually really looking forwards to trying to find both there albums.

Yes! Keiji Haino is fantastic, and so is the New Rap album. I have another album with the two of them (Keiji Haino and Yoshida Tatsuya), plus bassist Mitsuru Nasuno. It's called "Sanhedolin" and is fantastic. Not very zeuhl, but more avant-rock in the same vein.

Why? What is said?

Thanks for the links and help.

Anyone here like Yoshida Tatsuya's zeuhl work? He's in plenty of music ventures - most of which I would call zeuhl. Drummer/Singer/Composer who is obsessed with Magma - He plays in Ruins, Koenjihyakkei, others...

Dark, heavy, slow Zeuhl

I have read some rumours about Vander having Nazi sympathies, but I don't think it's true. The fact alone that he is a great fan of John Coltrane makes it very unlikely (Nazi's weren't very tolerant towards either Afro-American people and jazz).

Here's a pretty fantastic discovery we just made (although the disc was released a few years ago). It's a seventy-minute long single track entitled "Neheh", the result of four members of French prog-weirdos Magma jamming together one night in '73. We thought this would sound like a scaled down Magma, or some sort of jazz improv session. But, instead, this neither. It's absolutely unlike the jackboot precision of Magma circa '73's "Mechanik Destructiw Kommandoh" (which was in fact recorded, like, the next day!). Although this does share the esoteric spiritual aspects of Magma, there's none of Magma's grandiose rock/jazz/Wagner fusion here. Rather, it's a late-night excursion into kosmiche avant-hippy freakout realms, starting with unearthly vocal chant/drone and moving into percussion spasms, clarinet eruptions, and organ improv. So, instead of mother-band Magma, this should be compared to Amon Duul, the Sun City Girls, the No Neck Blues Band, Yahowah 13, and (closer to home) Thuja. Beautiful and wild, totally inspired. It's strange that this went unreleased until the '90s-- maybe Vander and Co. didn't want to dilute the Magma concept with something so loose and organic and, uh, 'of the times'. Still, it's one of our absolute favorite Magma-related documents, and should even appeal to those scared off by Magma's prog/fusion chops. Recommended!! (By the way, along with this, we've restocked a bunch of Magma classics, and we definitely have 'em at the best price you'll probably find anywhere.)

from http://www.aquariusrecords.org/cat/v36.html where you are able to purchase the album, just look down the bottom of the page.

I'm also sure they would most likely stock it at Magma's record label, Seventh Records.

Shub Niggurath - Les Morts Vont Vites seems to the popular choice, and a very good one too.
